SM World of Beauty

     I was in high school, I often hear my mom talking to my titas who live abroad about makeup brands that are not available locally.

Product Review: Mischka Just Kissed Lip & Cheek Stain

     Before I learned how to use blush powders and creams on my cheeks, lip & cheek tints are my best friend. I was in college back then when a Thai brand of makeup sells cheap but effective products and one of them was my favorite cheek tint. I will not name it and I presume that if you're a cheek tint gal, you have tried it too.

     Anyhoo, late last year I decided to rekindle my love for lip & cheek tints when I saw photos of Korean stars on my Facebook feed. Most of them are sporting the no makeup look with only flushed cheeks, bitten lips, and natural looking brows. I want to try that look and good thing Mischka Derma Secrets now rebranded to Mischka Nature Essentials sent me two shades of their Just Kissed Lip & Cheek Stain. Will this product be a mainstay in my makeup essentials? Find out my thoughts below :)

Product Review: L'Oreal Color Riche La Palette Nude Photos and Swatches

     Hello dearies! I'm so excited to share with you my second eye shadow palette review to date. If you're a long time reader of this blog prolly you know that applying eye shadow/s is one of my weaknesses when it comes to makeup application. I only apply color on my lids if I really need to show a pop of color especially when attending events like weddings and debuts. Why until now I can't get the hang of it? I don't know how to blend properly. I only rely on diagrams when  I apply eye shadows, applying one or two colors to be exact.

     During the launch of L'Oreal Color Riche La Palette Nude eye shadows, I told myself that this is the right time to practice the art of eye shadow application because the eye shadow palettes are simply beautiful and wearable, perfect for beginners and for those who always go for that 'no makeup' makeup look. I'll practice how to blend using both palettes and once I'm getting the hang of it, I'll be sharing my FOTD (face of the day) here. But for now sharing with you photos, swatches, and my thoughts on L'Oreal Color Riche La Palette Nude in Rose and Beige below :)

Product Review: Maybelline Rosy Matte Lipstick- Photos and Swatches

     I agree that you can never have too many lipsticks especially if the shades are so gorgeous and you get compliments every time you wear them! I've been sporting different shades of matte lipsticks lately and most of them are nudes! It's time for nude lipsticks to shine but most of my friends are afraid to wear them. They told me that the shade washes them out. Either they look pale or sick. 

     If you're itching to sport nude lipstick but having second thoughts on what specific shade to get then fret not because Maybelline Rosy Matte Lipstick by Colorsensational is the answer. I received these matte nude colors in rosy flesh-tone pigments last month and surprisingly I get compliments every time I wear my favorite shades from the line. So without further ado, sharing with you below my photos, swatch and my thoughts on Maybelline Rosy Matte by Colorsensational Lipsticks in Natural Beige, Soft Pink, Rosy Peach, Apricot Beige, and Salmon Pink below :)

Maybelline Rosy Matte Lipstick

     When sultry, smoky eyes or luscious, long lashes are the main focus of a woman’s makeup, nude-hued lips were originally worn to downplay a beauty look. But today, nudes have evolved into becoming a style staple and statement perfect for that clean and sexy everyday look.

What I like:

• The price- it's very affordable. Great for budget conscious individuals.
• There's no funky or weird scent.
• The packaging- it has an opaque packaging that comes in pretty metallic pink color.
• It's easy to apply. Glides smoothly on my lips.
• The texture is creamy and gives a full coverage after two swipes on my pigmented lips.
• It's not drying on my lips but I still prefer to apply lip balm prior to application.
• There are five vivid colors to choose from.
• It's easily accessible.
• The shades are wearable, perfect for everyday lip color and those who want to achieve the 'no make-up' makeup look.
• The best part- did not wash me out in photos. I don't look pale nor sick.
• Three out of five shades are true to the color of the lipstick inside the tube upon application. These shades are rosy peach, salmon pink, and natural beige. 

What I don't like:

• The shades at the bottom of the bullet can be misleading to the true color of the lipstick.
• The staying power is so-so as it fades after eating.
• Two shades- salmon pink and soft pink look different on my pigmented lips. 

Will I repurchase? Yes! My favorite colors are natural beige and salmon pink. I always get a lot of compliments whenever I sport these shades :)

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. Yay to Maybelline Philippines for bringing this line here in our country. Now Filipinas can go nude and choose nude lipsticks that are budget friendly and wearable. I highly recommend Maybelline Rosy Matte Lipsticks to those who want to try nude lipsticks since this shade is in trend this year. Go ahead and swatch these five color at Maybelline counters nationwide and dare to go nude!

Have you tried these gorgeous nudes from Maybelline Rosy Matte Lipstick? What's your favorite shade?

Good Times!~
